Answer:
Semiconductor : The solid materials whose electrical conductivity lies between those of the typical metallic conductors and insulators are termed as semiconductors. The semiconductors possess conductivity in the range of 102 to 10-9 ohm-1 cm-1.
These are of two types :
(a) n-type semiconductors : Doping of higher group element impurity forms n-type semiconductors, e.g. when ‘As’ is doped in ‘Ge’.
(b) p-type semicondctors : Impurity of lower groups forms electron deficient bond in the structure. Electron deficiency develops to p-hole.
